Olde Worlde ATC

Our most recent challenge theme was Olde Worlde which suited me well as I love the vintage, shabby chic look.

I've used a mixture of cardstock and the image is from Frenchkissed Postcards. The combination of violet and cream worked well. The cream was embossed in the Cuttlebug using the Textile folder. I then corner punched to create corner slots for the image which was much reduced before printing out. I've had to scan this as the weather and light has been so bad that I couln't get a good photo. I hope to post a card I've made using this atc soon.

Digital playtime

I've been trying to learn some new techniques to get texture and depth into my digital images.

This image was originally a scan from Frenchkissedpostcards . I followed the tutorial on Shadowhouse Creations and created the first image. I then put this in a layout using papers and elements from Katie Pertiet and the vintage frame from a Shabby Princess kit. The torn paper style was from Anna Aspnes.
